I had a knock form the front end and it turned out to be the front propshaft U/J. Not too hard to fix. More anoying. :roll:

FREAKLEY:
Hi

Thanks everyone for their advise, it turned out to be one of the front cv joints, it was a real mess, the garage let me have a look at it!!!!!!!

This has cured the problem with going round corners and the gears seem to be better as well, so  we are on our way to resolving the vibrating.

It still vibrates/makes a noise when you drive over 55mph.  

When you take your foot off the accelerator it stops.  Am I just being paranoid?  

Could it be the tyres?(the garage put new tyres on but they are cheap ones? should i relace with originals?) or is it just the grunt off the engine?

All in all its a good motor.

Oh by the way, I was not the guy that you gave the leaflet to Dignit, as I am a woman!!!!!!!!  sorry!!!!!!!

Oh I was also told that the underneath was in good nick but had been well used, and was given advise the grease it unp underneath, whats the best thing to use?

Digsit:
Hi again Freakley

It was just that I met a chap at our caravan storage site that said he had bought a Discovery and was moving to Greece. Small world :-k

Hi FREAKLEY
The vibration could be the tyres if they are not balanced, if you have another set of tyres then put them on, if you don't have another set then where in Leicestershire are you as I have plenty of sets if you want to try some standard road tyres to see if it cures the vibration.
As for the clunking when turning it would have been the CV's you could have driven a short distance home if you had locked the diff but as long as the garage has done it that is fine.
Just remember a Land Rover is not a car and does not drive like one, you will get used to it I am sure and never look back.

Amen to that, it took me about 6000 miles to get 'the hang' of it and I've always been able to get into anything and just drive.  Now I find the Rangie quite relaxing, decent stereo helps!
